Everybody knows the dice
are loaded.
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.
Everybody knows the war is over.
Everybody knows the good guys lost.
Everybody knows the fight was fixed.
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich.
That's how it goes. Everybody knows.Everybody knows the
scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will discloseWhat
everybody knows.

The
program premiers were available to every television set in the region
because of a high-mileage media hybrid.

The shows appeared on both commercial and community stations. The non-corporate
entity produced the events, commercial TV greatly expanded distribution.

Thus began an ongoing series of sane public interest programs which
generate both entertaining heat and more than a little light.

Please spread the word and consider contributing to the cause online
at ReSurge.TV.

You may also take the public option known as the U.S. Postal Service
and send a check or money order to ReSurge.TV, P.O. Box 10034, Reno
NV 89510.

Your contribution will help fund the distribution as well as ongoing
efforts at developing new media, including a regional, non-corporate
community radio station and the return of community television to Reno-Sparks-Washoe.

You are present at the creation of what I hope can become a new media
model where the programming accurately reflects what's happening on
the ground and the media impact is powerful enough to forcefully pass
the message upward.

The medium that shapes public opinion
needs at least one refuge where it is not filtered through the distorted green
eye shades of prissy corporate accountants for whom profit is the only priority;
where self-censorship is the journalist's normal work environment and where
all sins of omission are tacitly encouraged and forgiven with the wave of a
balance sheet.

at least 20% less funding than higher wealth districts."
